At long last, we have the story of Lord Darius Debenham, the final rogue in Beverley's beloved -Company of Rogues - series. Home from the war but wounded and struggling with the aftermath of laudanum addiction, the once fun-loving Dare is a changed man, now haunted and hopeless. But young, irrepressible Mara St. Bride has known Dare for years and is not about to let her favorite Rogue stay unhappy. She sets out to rescue him and succeeds beyond her -and everyone else's -wildest expectations. Lighthearted and serious, sexy and sweet, this exquisitely rendered story is a perfect finale to this classic series. Canada-based Beverley ("The Rogue's Return") is one of the genre's favorite historical authors; readers will be lining up for this book as well as the earlier series titles.Copyright 2006 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.

After Darius "Dare" Debenham rescues her from a potentially ruinous late-night adventure, Mara St. Bride vows to return the favor by rescuing Dare. A year after everyone thought he had perished at Waterloo, Dare turns up in England with little memory of what had happened to him and an addiction to opium. As Dare struggles desperately to overcome his dependency, the last thing he thinks he needs is someone like sweet, stubborn Mara meddling in his life, but she is determined to bring joy and light to the man she loves. A resourceful heroine who refuses to settle for anything less than true love and a tortured hero with a scandalous past eventually earn a happily-ever-after in this quietly powerful romance. With her usual beautifully nuanced characters and lyrical writing, RITA Award winner Beverley brings her popular Company of Rogues Regency historical series to a triumphant conclusion.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2006, American Library Association.)
